Doing a setup using the fender setup guide or using

guides seem to achieve.

There is no "one size fits all" setup. Players differ,
necks differ, etc.


Getting the string action to 4-5/64th's at the 12th fret
for me and have it somewhat rattle free and playable
is impossible. Right now the 1986 has 7/64th
clearance at the 12th fret and the 1997 has 6/64th.
I know I know, that's very close. But each has at
least some rattle issue when set up like this. The
neck relief on both is about the same. Right about
.006-007.

Might as well be straight :-) There's some of your
rattle right there, IMO, unless you pick with a super
light touch.
